How Often Do You Clean Your Lint Trap?

We know what you’re thinking—“I clean out my lint trap!”—and we know that you know that you should remove lint from the lint trap every time you use your dryer and how to do that. But were you also aware that your lint trap should be deep cleaned a few times a year? Why does it need that?

Well, using the dryer often means that residue and oils from dryer sheets build up on the screen of your lint trap, which clogs it. That means even if you’re removing the lint regularly, the screen still isn’t working as effectively as it should. All that oil and residue will block airflow, which can result in your dryer’s heating unit burning out sooner rather than later (it’s also a fire hazard!). Hence, why it needs to be deep-cleaned every once in a while.

Deep cleaning the screen of your lint trap is necessary, as it helps maintain the safety and usefulness of your dryer. Luckily, it isn’t a job you need to worry about doing; instead, you can call in the professionals! One of the services we offer at Dryer Vent Wizard is to clean out your lint tray and delint the interior of the dryer machine. This helps improve airflow and the efficiency of your dryer while making your home safer from dryer fires.

Many items can get stuck in the lint trap and interior of the machine. It is not uncommon for us to pull out foreign objects from inside the machine. Some of the crazy things we have found inside dryers include Spoons, dryer sheets, socks, buttons, plastic bags, hair, pet fur, baby and toddler toys, small balls, and many more. It is a good idea to have the interior of your machine looked at by a certified technician at Dryer Vent Wizard.
